💡 Using Soy With Sushi
💡 Key Point: Dip fish-side, not rice-side, and lightly — soy should accent, not drown, the fish. For gluten-free diners, tamari is the standard substitute. At fine counters, pieces are pre-seasoned, so taste before dipping.
⭐ Pro Tip: Kikkoman handles everyday needs well; an artisan brewed shoyu is worth it for finishing quality home sushi. Whatever you use, dip fish-side and lightly — soy should accent the fish, not overpower it.
